What the Bible says about light and seed

The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.

The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.”Matthew 13:24,25.

Follow up to the previous video - Ron Paul´s interview: Warning! The Economy is Collapsing

Posted by Jean-Louis:A friend of mine posted a video on FB showing the former presidents millionaires who keep on benefiting from old laws protecting their retirement assets, perks and financial gains through their books contracts running into the millions of dollars. He was complaining about the injustice, hypocrisy and inequality of these practices approved and sanctioned by the laws making a travesty of the Constitution. My reply to him:As believers in Christ and His true, pure, eternal, unchanging, never failing Word, we can declare with assurance: But God... The day of reckoning is coming soon
when " 'They will fling their silver into the streets and their gold
will become an abhorrent thing; their silver and their gold will not be
able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot
satisfy their appetite nor can they fill their stomachs, for their
iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling. Ezekiel 7:19.James declaresin James 5:3: Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness
against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last
days that you have stored up your treasure!This doesn´t apply only to the high and mighty only but to those who trust in
riches, chariots and horses, and their scheming instead of the Lord God
our Father and the Lord Jesus who alone can save us from destruction and
has given us the peace we need in these days of great turmoil,
perplexity and confusion.

How well do I know the presence
of my Lord Jesus in the middle of the storms of life?

He brought them knowing
full well how we would react in advance and in being confident that we would
choose to be with Him wherever He leads...He told us that because

we are His
friends wherever He is we would be also....because

He is and has the only Word
of life, our ark of Salvation, we are in His boat, He is in command, He told us
the end from the beginning.....that

He is the One will sustain us with His
vision in our hearts slowly unfolding while we serve Him in waiting patiently
for the great day of His coming.

He is the mirror though which we see ourselves....we
will one day see Him fully as He sees us and know Him as we are known and for
ever be with Him,

He is the desire of all nations and the hope of glory,

the lifter
of our head,

the lover of our souls,

our hiding place, our shield and our great
reward,

our daily bread, our water of life...

the inexhaustible fount of wisdom
and understanding...

a sure foundation for our time...

Jesus who gives us even
the theme of the Praise that transports us into His heart of love, through the
veil that was torn so that

we could access with bold confidence the throne of
grace in which

we stand by faith in the power of His might...

our eyes open,

our ears unstopped,

our hearts beating on a heavenly rhythm,

our empty hands in
prayers waiting to be

filled with blessings, shared with others....

our lips
filled with praise and songs to

His majesty, His glory the beauty His holiness, bowing down while beholding

Written and posted by Jean-Louis To read a study on Paul´s shipwreck on Malta, " A ship named Relations" click, Here

For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves. They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage melted away.They reeled and staggered like drunkards;

they were at their wits’ end. Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper;the waves of the seawere hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven. Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind. Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders. Psalm 107: 25-32.

Land, land, a chorus of sea-gulls heralded

Childlike, dolphins merrily pirouetted

Celebrating with the rhythm of whimsical waves

This propitious journey with delighted voyagers.

Suddenly, a venomous storm

Escaping from an Aeolian windbag,

Stinking and green with envy

Unfurled its fury on the peaceful seascape.

The cloudy canvass thickens,

The undulating liquid walls

Rise, with threats of wrath.

Are we in this deadly dance moving

Toward an unavoidable shipwreck?

The increasing tempest suspends

The harmony of the Mediterranean abyss

Feeding the human fear

At the thought that their last hour

Had chimed without any recourse.

The heart in this reflex instant

When the compass swings wildly

Remembers that God exists

And humbly kneels

Asking for pardon and mercy.

The time for good deeds is gone

No more “Our Fathers”, “Hail Marys”

On beads to recite, nor “Om Shantis”

The re-winded video unfolds as lightning

On the screen of the impotent memory.

The refuge of conscience is no use.

No more hypocrisy, no more subterfuge

Everything is in the scales

No more karma, no more bribes

Here come the angel executionerExecuting the sentence

Or eternal life and its recompense.

As I was quietly contemplating my lot
A soft voice, above the furious wind

Asked me the following:

“Tell me, “can you with one word, calm the waves?

Perhaps, are you the captain of your own ship?

Can your eyes pierce the dark clouds

And predict your own future?”

Recognizing the divine presence and the voice

That saved my life many times before,

From war, from human violence,

From unchained elements,

I left my appeased heart

In the hands of my Savior

Who invites all to come and rest

In the secure love that emanates

from the mercy seat surrounded

by the wings of the worshiping cherubim.

At last, my struggle calmed by his Word

The ship arrived safe at port

Where, from the beginning

It was following its intended course.

Grace and Peace to you all. Remember the cross of Jesus who gives us the victory by the shed blood of the Lamb and the testimony of our lips confessing that He is the Lord and the Savior of our souls.

The Joshua Tree - An original parable/allegory by this blogger.

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God (Genesis 21:33). Here is old Abraham just planting a tree and living by his well. Why are we told this? It is symbolic of what is taking place in his heart and life. The tree immediately brings to mind Psalm 1, which says the man of God will be like a tree planted by rivers of living water, bringing forth its fruit in season. Here is a life that is fruitful, that is concerned about those immediately around and is pouring out blessing into their lives and hearts.

Testimony/Sermon of an Abortion Survivor

SUICIDE WATCH

I am sure most of you have known at some time in your life a person who wanted or attempted to end their life or succeeded in doing so. Personally, I have known a number of such people. I, myself had such an episode as an adolescent.

More and more I am reading and hearing about people young, old, male, female, gender and age don´t matter that add their lives to this problem of epidemic proportion in our society. Whatever the cause, we can all do something however small to save lives.

No need to have a psych. degree or to be licensed. An understanding heart, a listening ear is sometimes all that it takes to help weaker, more sensitive people overcome the hopelessness that drives fellow human beings to discard the gift of human life.

Please, take a few minutes to read below the few examples and testimonies about suicide. And please pass it on, if that´s all you feel inclined to do. Thank you.

HE INVITES SUICIDE JUMPERS FOR A CUP OF TEA

Don Ritchie moved to a house outside Sydney, Australia, for the clifftop view. But soon he was stopping suicides by inviting potential jumpers inside for a cup of tea.

Don Ritchie has been awarded a medal for bravery and an Order of Australia (the nation’s second highest honor) for averting hundreds of would-be suicides by approaching people and offering them a cup of tea. ‘I used to sell kitchen scales and bacon cutters,’ he says. Now, ‘I’m trying to sell people life.’
